"Even though KSI was winning the fight, the blow with the forearm/elbow has been found to be accidental and the obvious disappointment that will follow, it has been decided that the contest is declared a No Decision in accordance with the rules.

"The PBA has conducted the review properly, fairly and with legal assistance throughout as the bout was sanctioned and regulated under the unified rules of boxing. We have ensured that this process was conducted swiftly and fairly to uphold the integrity of boxing."

KSI's exhibition boxing record now stands at 3-0, 1 NC. While the decision was overturned, a rematch isn't looking likely. While Fournier wants to share the ring with KSI again, the feeling doesn't appear to be mutual.

KSI has made it clear that he wants to move on to a clash with Tommy Fury. He's hoping to defeat Fury and set up a showdown with fellow social media megastar Jake Paul. "The Problem Child" is scheduled to meet former UFC title challenger Nate Diaz in a pro boxing match on August 5.
